The true King without a doubt would have to be Michael J. He helped so many people and the music he created was, is, and will always be unmatched. I love Michael J. and in my eyes he is the King! Rest in peace mike!

It is Elvis.

It has always been Elvis.

It will always be Elvis.

Anything else is just un-American...

R u kidding me? ur joking right? Elvis? lol.... Well u r entitled to your own opinion, lol... I don't agree with ya! Elvis had about three or four great hits. Mike has about 20 or more plus he just passed away his records sales are going out of the roof. Elvis has been dead 32 years now, so 32 yrs after michael has been gone, his recordings wouls have out sold elvis by millions. Plus mike stayed at the top of his game thru 4 generation of people who all loved him. Elves could never do that, plus elvis stole his music and moves, so I concider elvis the King of thives! lol.....

Who recorded more music? Who has more fans?

ELVIS.

The true king...

I have seen many many Elvis impersonators...not one Michael Jackson impersonator...

Your Michael Jackson will always rate second best...

Just for your information, Elvis has sold more albums total than Michael...

Michael has the #1 best selling album of all time...this is true...but when you consider the total catalogue of recorded music by each, Elvis is ahead...


myLot reputation of 77/100. MYKLJ999_VERSION_2 (2961)  3 years ago

Do some research. Elvis has sold over 1 billion copies of his recorded works.

Your "king" falls far, far behind that number...

Elvis sold 1.3 billion records, and he had 31 number 1 hits, only the Beatles get anywhere near that, they had 30 number 1 hits.

I understand Jackson had 13 number 1 hits, but I have no idea what they all were, and he has sold 750 million records, certainly very impressive, but Elvis will always be the King.

Elvis sold 1.3 billion records and had 31 # 1 Hits, and the Beatles are the only ones that come close, they have had 30 # 1 Hits.

Jackson sold 750 million records, and I understand that he had 13 # 1 Hits, which is a surprise to me. Jackson's stats are impressive, but he hardly compares to Elvis, who is and always will be the true King of Rock 'n' Roll

well yes elvis did change alot of things in the 1950's but mike will always be the true king..his stuff was original unlike elvis who stole black peoples songs and dance moves...elvis did not have the first rock and roll album come out it was jackie brenston...so who is the king i say michael to the dang jackson


sammy875 (1)  3 years ago

elvis stole moves for black people lol really? more like he was inspired just like bing crosby and many other artistes. If you really want to get in to race here michael was pop right? isn't pop white? every one has to be inspired by something else their be wouldn't be art or music. come one you have argument.

You've obviously never seen the women swoon over Elvis when he was up on stage. MJ has to dance all over the stage and come up with new moves to get people to notice. Elvis could get all the women going just by a shake of his hip.

Both are kings in their own unique ways and in two different generation. They are admired because of their talent in music and entertainment. They have their own flaws and they become more popular and richer after death.


ESASINSWEAR (26)   ranked 22,714 out of 26,925 in people  3 years ago

Yes u have a point! Their overall career Michael has out shined elvis! Elvis did not do as much as mike did for the music industry and people in general. I understand your point but u need to concider what the did with their lives too, that truley determines a tru KING! Michael was the greatest that ever lived, he was put on this plane to perfom and entertain us. Its sad to see him gone! R.I.P. M.J.

I've always been a fan of Elvis. I never really cared for Michael Jackson. I still remember when came out with Billy Jean. Didn't really like it that much. I think taste in music is preference, not requirement. To say which singer is better is like saying which food is better.

I still think Elvis is the true king he did have more hits then michael jackson and basically put rock and roll on the map. So I do think that Elvis is the true king but still love michael jackson and do think Michael Jackson is a better entertainer then elvis.

They were both talented, but I think Micheal was better- he could sing like no other, and dance like no other. Elvis was a good musician, but Micheal's got more talent.

Elvis is king of "Rock'n Roll" where as Micheal is said to be king of"Pop"...I think that this sums up the two they are king of different genres,but,by far Micheal Jackson is the most talented of the two.
